Trenton Robinson has stated his case.

Now the former Bay City Central and Michigan State University star waits for the verdict on his future with the Washington Redskins.

The third-year safety is considered to be one of the players on the bubble when NFL teams cut their rosters to a final 53 for the regular season. Cuts are due by 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30.

Robinson, a sixth-round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2012, joined the Redskins for the final 11 games of the 2013 season and was a regular on special teams. This summer, he's battled a host of safeties for a roster spot -- and the results look close.

Robinson did his part during preseason games, ranking fourth on the team with 13 tackles and second with 10 solo stops. He had a solid game against Tampa Bay in Thursday's preseason finale, notching seven tackles including a tackle for loss on a third-down run.

"I just hope to continue to keep playing the way I have this preseason, just fast and hard and make some plays," Robinson was quoted prior to the game in a story by Mike Jones of the Washington Post.

Jones posted a message Saturday on Twitter saying a team source said Robinson was in for the final 53.

The 5-foot-9, 195-pounder saw his stock rise among Redskins insiders. He was listed by some as an automatic cut in early August but is now projected to make the roster by most projections.

With starting safety Brandon Meriweather suspended for the first two games of the regular season, the door is open for an additional roster spot early in the year. There is a chance that a safety will be cut Saturday then brought back Monday when Meriweather's suspension begins.
